218060 Pte. John Arthur Whitby British Army 8th Btn. Border Regiment from:The Ferry, Rainham, Essex (d.11th Apr 1918) John Whitby is my Uncle, of whom little is known apart from his name being on the Ploegsteert Memorial in Belgium and the War Memorial in Rainham, Essex. He was just 21 when he died, and as my Father would only have been 10 years old at that time, no other information has been passed down the Family. On the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Website he is listed as 242036 Private John Arthur Whitby served with the 8th Battalion Border regiment during WW1. He died on the 11th April 1918 and is remembered on Panel 6, Ploegsteert Memorial, Belgium. He was the son of George and Elizabeth MA Whitby of the Ferry, Rainham, Essex.
